Time for another edition of Fantasy Football Out on a Limb. I scour the rosters to select a player who I feel will outperform a higher profile player in that given week.  I base my decisions on matchups, how the players are trending, and the ever-important hunch. 

To mix things up I’ll occasionally do some two on one matchups or even pit RB or WR duos against each other.  Sometimes I’ll spot a player some points. 

 

Scoring
Six points for rushing or receiving TD
Four points for a passing TD
0.1 points per yard for rushing or receiving
0.05 points per passing yard.
